Gallery: IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside

One of more than 100 events in the global IRONMAN 70.3 Series, the 2019 IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside triathlon saw stellar performances from Ben Kanute (USA) and Daniela Ryf (CHE) who battled an impressive field of triathletes to earn victories in the men's and women's fields respectively. The North America season-opening event led the 2,600 athletes along a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run throughout Oceanside and its surrounding areas. Athletes began their day with a beach swim start that took athletes through the surf, then headed north and into the Oceanside Harbor. Once out of the water, participants embarked upon a single-loop bike course that ventured through Camp Pendleton and San Onofre Bluffs State Park. Athletes ascended San Mateo hill followed by two more hills, only to come upon a flat but windy road back to the Oceanside Harbor. The double-loop run course wound along the Oceanside Pier and then out to Oceanside’s flat beachfront path known as "The Strand," where miles of sandy beaches provided beautiful views. Offering a total professional prize purse of $50,000 USD, the race also awarded a total of 40 qualifying slots to the 2019 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Nice, France.
